Tsugaru - Shimokita by Kazuo Kitai is a photographic series that delves into the landscapes and culture of the Tsugaru and Shimokita regions in northern Japan.

The images, imbued with melancholy and respect, reveal the austere beauty of the landscapes, the faces of the inhabitants, and the authenticity of a fading old Japan. Through this work, Kitai celebrates the memory and cultural richness of these places while documenting the inevitable changes affecting them.

Tsugaru - Shimokita by Kazuo Kitai is a photographic series that delves into the landscapes and culture of the Tsugaru and Shimokita regions in northern Japan. With his characteristic documentary approach, Kitai captures the simple life and deep-rooted traditions of these rural areas, often isolated and untouched by the modern pace.
